Here is a script to use with Salling Clicker 2.0, which will let you control GarageBand with your Sony T68i. This is especially helpful when you want to record something and you are in another room , having a beer and can't be bothered running back & forth to your Mac to press record & stop. All you have to do is go into Salling Clicker, in the System Preferences. Under "Clicker items" / Scripts, choose "New Category" by using the action button. Name this "GarageBand," then under that Category select "new script" by using the action button. Select "Keypad widget" - name it "GarageBand" also, and then press control while clicking on this new script to edit it with Script Editor.
Finally, replace the script you see in Script Editor with my Garage Band AppleScript. Save it, then drag the script from " Scripts" over to " Clicker items". This puts it in your phones "Accessories" menu. Read the rest of the hint for the script...
[robg adds: I can't test this one, as I have no Bluetooth phone ... and I apologize for the width of the code in the remainder of the hint, but there's not a good way to easily break the longer lines.]
